OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKDartmouth senior quarterback Dalyn Williams (Corinth, Texas) had a game to remember on homecoming weekend, setting the school record for passing yards in a game (435) as the Big Green dominated Yale in a 35-3 triumph. Williams completed 29-of-53 throws and connected on four scoring strikes for a second-straight week. His first three touchdown tosses came in the first half. Then he capped his day with a 36-yard throw for the final points of the day to give him his first career 400-yard game and break the record held by former NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler. Williams had nine completions of at least 20 yards and five of at least 30. He is also the first Dartmouth quarterback with three consecutive 300-yard games to his credit.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKDartmouth senior free safety David Caldwell (Charlotte, N.C.) looked as if his day would end early when he was helped from the field during early in the first half of the Big Green's win over Yale. Caldwell was tended to on the sideline and returned with a vengeance, finishing the day tying for the team lead with seven tackles while picking off two passes and breaking up three more. His first big play of the day came in the second quarter with Dartmouth leading 14-0 and Yale in Big Green territory as he tackled a receiver two yards shy of the first down on a 4th-and-4 play. In the third quarter, Caldwell broke up a pair of passes and he capped his day with two interceptions in the red zone in the fourth quarter -- the second at the two-yard line -- to prevent Yale from scoring a touchdown all day. He is the first Dartmouth player with two interceptions in a game in two years.
